Summary

This trial will test if an online game can help improve memory and brain health for people who have had a moderate-severe brain injury.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 18-55 who have had a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury, confirmed by CT or MRI. Participants should be fluent in English, able to give consent (or have someone who can), and must live near Toronto for MRI access. They need basic computer skills and the ability to use at least one arm.
What is being tested?
The study tests an online program designed to improve memory through spatial navigation exercises versus educational videos. It aims to see if this method is effective and practical for those with traumatic brain injuries.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions are non-invasive, consisting of an online program and educational videos, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, participants may experience fatigue or frustration during tasks.
